Cooperation

Collaboration and team success can create lasting social bonds. Focus on the cooperative aspects of your project.

• Cooperation requires communication. Do your people have enough opportunity to communicate? How could communication be enhanced?
• Are people friends already, or are they strangers? If they are strangers, can you help them break the ice?
• Is there synergy (2+2=5) or antergy (2+2=3) when people work together? Why?
• Do all people have the same role, or do they have special jobs?
• Cooperation is greatly enhanced when there is no way an individual can do at ask alone. Does your project have tasks like that?
• Tasks that force communication inspire cooperation. Do any of your tasks force communication?

“Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.”

-Franklin D. Roosevelt
